Yes, I do have a curiosity about that.

Katherine Watson, do you want to chime in? Yeah, I want to share first a perspective that I think death can look different.

I've worked as a chaplain at a level in trauma hospital, Hennepin County Medical Center, and at Fairview Hospice.

So if someone is all of a sudden dying suddenly from an accident or a shooting, that's a different looking of how you die versus hospice.

But I would say my role as part of the team is meeting them on the path, the patient first, how can I support them? In hospice, for example, a patient may very well have some unresolved issues, needs to forgive someone, just like what does this look like in the final days, weeks of their life? So meeting the patient on their path and then the family members, helping them with this process of letting go of their loved one.

What I did find in my years of being a hospice chaplain is the norm was people did die peacefully.

It was unusual.

But I have seen almost the opposite with people who are very religious and sort of falter in the final moments and have a lot of fear around what might happen to them, which that's really hard to mitigate, right? That is deeply rooted in that person's belief system.
